What is good human food food is good for Gray Cockatiels? (it doesnt fly, maybe has a broken wing)?

Question

I found a Gray Cockatiel in my front yard that was about 2 b eaten by some cats. I saved it and dont know what to feed it. Every time i try to get it to drink some water i put in a bowl, it shrieks and tries to bite me. Any other tips will help alot (How to feed it, how to get it to stop biting my aunt, what food to give it)

Answer 1

Well you should firstly go get some seed, because it's hard telling how long it's been outside and how long it's been since it's ate. It will eat greens of pretty much any kind. Collard, mustard, dandelion. Any human food is ok for him to eat, with the exception of avacados and chocolate. I would go get some seed and millet. You need to try to find the owner. Put a lost and found add, they are usually free. Put up fliers..whatever you can do. Someone has lost their pet and would be gratefull to get it back.
He's scared...don't poke at him. Just leave it alone until it calms down and gets some food.
As far as the wing..does it look broken? Is the wing hanging, is the bird favoring the wing like it's injured? Maybe the flight feathers are just clipped so it can't fly much. Tiels can usually still fly to an extent even when they've been clipped, they are very strong fliers.

Answer 2

You need to go buy cockatiel food for it. Also put it in a cage with food and water dishes. give it a chance to calm down and you should call a vet. It is pretty easy to tame a cockatiel once it learns to trust you.

Answer 3

It's totally freaked out and will drink when it calms down. If it was being attacked by cats, you should take it to a vet to have it checked out-or a shelter.

You can feed it any kind of frozen vegetable (thawed), whole grain cereal, brown rice, fruit. They advise not to give them chocolate, papaya, or avocado.

Pet stores carry a ton of cocktail food. You should give them that as well.

Answer 4
